Go To Travel "Tokyo is the center of the spread of infections and the thought of the intestine" Minister of Foreign Affairs July 17, 12:17
Regarding “Go To Travel” to stimulate tourism demand, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism at a press conference revealed at the press conference that trips to and from Tokyo will be excluded from the discount and will be implemented from 22nd of this month. I showed the accommodation company the idea of thoroughly implementing infection control measures.
Among them, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism revealed that for “Go To Travel,” trips to/from Tokyo will be exempt from the discount, including those already reserved, from 22nd of this month. ..
Regarding the exclusion of Tokyo, Mr. Akabane said, "Tokyo is a particularly infected situation compared to other prefectures, and is the center of the spread. I had great expectations from the people of Tokyo, so I had to give up my bowels."
Regarding the timing of the start of the campaign in Tokyo, he said, "We will continue to carefully monitor the infection situation and appropriately consider it based on the opinions of experts on infectious diseases and the overall policy of the government."
In addition, Minister Akabane requested that travel and accommodation companies participating in the campaign take thorough measures to prevent infection, and if the efforts were insufficient, they decided to cancel the registration.
In addition, I would like to inform travel agencies, etc., that they should refrain from group trips for young people, group trips for the elderly, and banquet trips with a large number of people.
On the other hand, Mr. Akabane said, "There is no plan to compensate as a country" in the case of cancellation by a person who booked a trip in anticipation of discounting the rate in the campaign.
